My conjecture is that aulos was absorbed into Gorean as 'aulus'. - (Magicians of Gor, Chapter 22, Sentence #158)

I have accordingly edited the manuscript in the interests of consistency, changing "Flute Street" to "Aulus". My interpretation is supported by information supplied by a colleague in the Classics Department, to the effect that there is a Greek expression for a flute which might be transliterated as aulos. I think we may assume then, apart from contextual considerations, that "Aulus" and "Flute Street" are the same street. My conjecture is that aulos was absorbed into Gorean as 'aulus'. An additional consideration is that "Aulus" is one of the streets bordering the great theater, that of Pentilicus Tallux. Flute music is apparently extremely important in Gorean theater. Indeed, we learn from Cabot's miscellaneous notes that the name of the flute player usually occurs on theatrical advertisements immediately after that of the major performer or performers. - (Magicians of Gor)
